As I was driving back to home in orange county, ca, on 6/27/2019 at around 8 P.M., I opened the garage door a couple of garage-doors down and as I was slowing the car down to turn and enter the garage, the brakes did not work, and the car sped up instead. I turned the steering wheel to the right to brake the speed of the car and to avoid a head-on collision with the garage's front wall. The air bags got deployed and I got badly bruised. My right foot's right ankle also hit a metal on the right (most probably gas pedal as it was on the right side of my foot) as I turned the car to the right. Automatic emergency braking (aeb) is standard on Rogue/Rogue sport model year 2018, among other Nissan models. However, not only the brakes of the vehicle failed on me but also aeb system did not kick in to avoid the collision. It was enterprise rental car. They next morning it was towed to their location in lake forest, oc. They are working with me to get to the bottom of this matter. My hope is they will take the right and conscientious approach to the matter to avoid more serious accident and graver consequences in the future. I will update as I will have more information available to share.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. While driving, the vehicle would brake and slow down without the brake pedal being depressed. The vehicle also made a noise as if it were driving over speed bumps. Nissan South (6889 jonesboro rd, morrow, ga 30260, (678) 619-3104) stated that the emergency brake was being applied because the braking system signaled the wiring or signs from a particular section of the road. The contact was informed to shut off the system when approaching that portion of the road and then turn it on again afterwards. The contact stated that the failure only occurred along that portion of the road. The manufacturer was not notified. The dealer offered no other suggestions for the repair and did not diagnose the vehicle. The failure mileage was 32,000.

1. when I stop the car in front of a red traffic light signal or get stuck in traffic and the lever in position "D" my back feels vibration. I see the passenger seat swinging. I put my hand on the headrest and feel the vibration. 2.when I keep the speed of 30... 35 mph I feel the vibration on the steering wheel, I hear the hum from the transmission, the rear-view mirror has an oscillation. 3.when I drive a car on the road, the wheel crosses a pit or knob, the right rear seat shakes noisily. 4.when I drive car 65 mph and push brake pedal gently I feel pulse beating on steering wheel, body, seats. 5.when I was washing the car at the car wash, the tailgate spontaneously opened. I'm afraid to visit the automatic car wash because it may cause an accident. 6.kick moving liftgate opening doesn't work properly. 7. tech replaced the brake booster vacuum tube but it doesn't work.

My 2018 Nissan Rogue activates the automatic emergency braking ( aeb) on it's own. It has occurred five or six times, twice while crossing rr tracks. One of these instances happened while traveling at approximately 35 mph and the Dodge truck behind us very near rear ended us. The other aeb activations were on level road at normal driving speeds. The brakes just activate and bring the vehicle to a near stop. Hopefully this can be resolved.

I was driving at approximately 30 mph when my vehicle's automatic emergency braking system engaged. There was no apparent obstruction which would have caused the aeb system to engage. I've owned the vehicle for exactly 1 week and this has happened twice. Both times, the system engaged for approx 2-3 seconds and then my car returned to normal driving. While it did not bring me to a full stop, it did slow me down and created fear, distraction and a major safety issue all while actively driving with my toddler in the vehicle.

Vehicle is automatically braking even when there are no other vehicles or obstacles near by. Two times since buying my Nissan in April my car has braked to a hard stop while I was driving at speed of 35mph or more (once on city roads and once on highway) for no reason. This could have resulted in an accident had other cars been behind me. I had even disabled the auto braking feature after the first time hoping to avoid the issue reoccurring. Unfortunately that did not work.

The automatic emergency braking system engaged on July 6 2108. There was not an obstruction in the road on this city street. While driving straight down the road, the car made a noise, the dashboard flashed, the car shuddered and came to a very quick, almost immediate stop. The vehicle resumed working as normal when I applied pressure to the gas pedal after the stop. There were no other cars on the road at the time. The road had some large patches on the asphalt. The vehicle was traveling ~25 mph when this occurred.

I experienced unwarranted brake assist while driving down the road. There were no vehicles around me and it was quite frankly very disturbing. This issue has not happened a single time during ownership of the vehiclw

For some time, vehicle has been displaying warning lights, beeping, and braking when no obstacles, while in motion, are around because of the automatic emergency braking system malfunction. I took the vehicle to the dealership a month ago to have the update performed based on information received in the mail. One month later, after the update was performed, vehicle continues to beep, flash warning, and brake while I am pressing the gas and in motion on the road going 45 mph, causing a scraping sound and then going off. Problem was supposed to be fixed after update performed on 6/8/19, but is still occurring.

Forward emergency braking light sporadically coming on while driving. Car has been taken to Nissan dealership and has not been properly diagnosed or properly repaired. Car has also thrown check engine light causing the oxygen sensor to be replaced. Lost trust in reliability, security and dependability of my new vehicle. Nissan does not appear to competent enough to fix my SUV.

I'm 6 feet tall and 90 pounds, size L. 8.when I was washing the car at the car wash, the tailgate spontaneously opened. I'm afraid to visit the automatic car wash because it may cause an accident. 9.kick moving liftgate doesn't work properly. 10.dealer didn't make rebalancing tires.

Vehicle was moving forward in bumper to bumper street traffic at roughly 10 mph approx 1 hour into trip. Vehicle applied brakes automatically - felt like going over a cattle guard, for 1 or 2 seconds. Then warning light came on re: Emergency braking system and collision avoidance icon appeared on instr panel. Stayed on until engine was shut off. When restarted icon and warning gone. On return trip again 1 hour into trip but on expressway at 65 mph again cattle guard braking but not enough to slow car too much. Then collision avoidance icon and this time warning re: Front radar malfunction lights came on. Again stayed on till engine shutoff and gone upon restart. Took vehicle to dealer, explained problem, and they " updated the software for the emergency braking system". have not had problem since but have not driven car for a 1 hour trip yet. Resolution not confirmed yet. Purchased car used (rental fleet car) with no registered complaints on NHTSA website.

While driving on 3 separate occasions the automatic emergency break option that is on was activated on its own bringing my car to a stop without an emergency stop in front of me. On all three occasions I was in motion 2/3 times over 30mph. I was driving on a city street in el paso tx and on a military installation in corpus christi, tx.

The car on multiple occasions has randomly braked (grinding like brakes) with the dash lights flashing. I've taken it in to get "fixed" only to have the exact same thing happen again. Now service is telling me that they don't see any programming issue. It's startling as it continuously happens in the parking lot, going about 5 mpf, of my work which is on a decline downward into the lot. More concerning and scary is the fact that this happened going 65 mph on the highway. The weather conditions were fine and there was absolutely no reason for the braking.
